Rishikesh Yogpeeth Abhayaranya

I had a real pleasure to stay at Abhayaranya yoga village in October of 2017 right after it was built. I was a part of the very first group that they had after opening their doors to the guests. I’m very satisfied with my stay there. Being in such serene, peaceful place up in the mountains, away from all the noice and pollution of the city made me feel present, connected, and joyful.. The mules cared our bags to the village so we could hike up there with empty hands. It was such an unexpected surprise. I was prepared to carry my backpack on my own, since I didn’t know there was any other way. After we arrived they had a healthy lunch prepared for us by a genuine, kind cook that didn’t speak any English, but the energy he was vibrating was very good and positive. All the meals there were incredible! I couldn’t have enough. They cook on coals, so the food has a smoky flavor to it that was so delusions and perfect for being in nature, rather than having the food cooked on an electric stove. Their cottages have all the necessary amenities, hot water, new high quality appliances, comfortable beds, white cotton sheets, and warm blankets. I really enjoyed the view from my cottage that was facing the mountains. There was WiFi that didn’t work well, which is a good thing. Getting away from civilization and your electronic devises is really needed in our lives from time to time. But I was still able to find some connection and get in touch with my family. Our yoga instructor Himanshu was truly amazing and charming. He did such a good job teaching us. I have to admit, it was hard even for an experienced yogi like me. But he followed our requests for a more gentle yoga after we felt like our bodies needed some rest. His adjustment were so perfect. I definately miss that in my self practice. And I have to mention our wonderful Ayurvedic doctor, Dr Das, who gave us his undivided attention, his knowledge, his wisdom, and treated us with good care and kindness. All of his stuff is very hard-working, respectful, and talented. They realined my body and put everything back in its place :) I was amazed with their treatment. We were staying there during Diwali. Roshan organized such a memorable puja for us. I will never forget this beautiful experience. We had a chance to plant the plants along with Roshan which was so good. Connecting with nature, with Roshan, and leaving my footprint was very special. Thank you for such a hard work off all the people that created this sastainable yoga village for us to enjoy. And I’m very grateful for the mules, who sacrificed their health, and worked so hard to bring the cement, and everything else that was nessesary for this place to be built. I highly recommend this experience to everyone looking for peace, outstanding food, hikes in the mountains, yoga, and connection with the self. I can’t wait to return!

Namaste ... The best desicion of my life I have ever made ,I did my 200 hour and 300 hour ytt from rishikesh yogpeeth. Really great feeling in yoga capital. In the lap of mother ganga ji and at the feets of Himalaya. Covering ocean from few words Rishikesh yogpeeth is the best place to explore yoga from the bottom of the heart saying I'm privileged enough to learn from such gurus. All the teachers are so knowledge and supportive in all the aspect. With outstanding management at ashram taking care of every family member with each and everything. A great combination of spiritual , traditional and morden way of teaching philosophy ,anatomy ,asana ,pranayama and meditation . Thank you for everything I had in rishikesh yogpeeth I have learned lot from this place thank you roshan Singh kukreti ji,vishal kukreti ji deepa mam ,neha mam, ammu mam ,azad sir , himanshu sir, Vivek sir and every member of rishikesh yogpeeth fraternity . Dear yogis yoga starts from here as a part of family I'm recommending this place to every single one who want s to explore yoga . Amazing place # spirituality# yoga ... Namaste...

I felt like I'm part of a family at Rishikesh Yog Peeth . The best anatomy and philosophy classes , the best asana classes . The staff is very helpful , the accommodations , all the meals & activities where included & perfect . Thank you again for everything Rishikesh Yog Peeth , lots of love , Valentin xoxoxoxo

I can't wait to visit the Abhayaranhya Ashram. My time with the teachers at Yog Peeth was transformative and exceedingly inspiring. Not just the teaching - which I truly believe to be of an excellent standard. I was injured during my training and the staff not only ensured I received excellent attention and modification but also assisted with my healing progress (double cruciate ligament tears - now strong and functioning at 41 without surgery!) The ethos of the Yog Peeth approach sets it apart from the more opportunistic schools in the region and around the world. They are firmly rooted in a strong belief in the Indian traditions of yoga as they can be applied to the global society and I wish them all the luck with this new setting.

My first time in Rishikesh was filled with all kinds of rediscovered emotions but also physical and mental struggle. Anyhow, staying at Yog Peeth made life easier. A six days a week exercise, study and meal schedule helped to overcome personal issues and showed the beauty of a disciplined day. A privet bedroom and bathroom was provided and the people working around Surya and Sarika were glad to help with whatever was needed or needed change to keep everybody calm and happy at all times. The food provided was always on time and in plenty. This comfort allowed me to go further every day with a smile. I felt very much looked after and cared for. In the same manner, the teachers at Yog Peeth would gently guide me with comfort through my physical and mental blocks. There is no force stronger than the energy coming from these people and if you are open and ready for it, they are able to show you a different state of being. Yog Peeth is for everyone. And every individual will get what he or she is in need of. In the end - take it as an experience or let it change your heart.

Rishikesh Yog Peeth has been the most rewarding and enlightening experience I've ever had. I learned more about myself and my life path in my time there and am excited to share what I have learned with others.

Words are less to define this place. All I can say to my lovely friends you must visit at this place for once in your entire life. You never know what is your destiny, go and explore your infinite potential which you haven't known about you.

One the best and beautiful place to be in if you are thinking to reflect and relax. The teachers are experienced. And the staff very helpful. The village above and the villagers add so much to the experience. The food local and organic and tastes delicious. Words would not be doing the justice. So in nutshell Amazing experience.

My dream full of ancient science and technology is just there as Abhayaranya. I regularly visit to convert my routine time into Spiritual time. My mind easily bow down to meditative state even while talking or eating. I suggest every yoga practitioner to get the taste of Yoga Environment just by visiting. Thank you Roshan Singh Sir and Digambar Nautiyal Sir and Rajesh Singh for giving me such opportunity. I pray for the growth of this school everyday. Pranams, Namaste, Hari Om.

Beautiful place to explore yourself. Situated in the beautiful mountains of Uttrakhand and away from the social life. They have one of the most best teachers and instructors. Good food, good rooms and above all value for money.

Amazing Place. Nothing is imperfect if you are getting trained under Roshan ji to become a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher. The course is excellently designed and the teachers are amazing. The atmosphere of the ashram is very good. The best thing I am having while returning from the place is the feel of fulfillment, joy and peace

This place made wonders for me..Amazing ambience lovely staff..service with genuine feelings..simply fantastic food..surroundings all natural..highly qualified teachers..who made everything so intresting...BUT you need to focus on whats going on there...leave everything besides...then you know what im talking about...that fab feeling on your graduation day...unbeatable...2020 started great...Namaste....

I did my 300 hrs yttc here and it was the most amazing experience I have ever had ???? I hardly wait to be there again. The teachers, the atmosphere, the foods... everything was more than amazing. Thank you for everything. ??????

Be careful = Tourists trap! the yoga "retreat" food is very poor. It's a 2 miles up hill hike if you want to get any normal food or drinks. No fresh vegetables or fruit are served. Breakfast is basically just tea, banana and bread. Poor service. Poor care for customers, Greedy owner. Very disrespectful once he will have your payments in his hands.

Yoga teacher training school in Rishikesh. They open a new space in mountain next waterfall. It’s an amazing place Peaceful for practising yoga and meditation. And teachers and staff are very professional and kindly.

I’m having great difficulty getting a hold of anyone. Your numbers are not in service Andy emails are not being answered. I have a YTT course coming up April 6th, is it still expected to run despite the corona virus going around? Any information is helpful, thank you

The most amazing experience... no words will describe the journey this beautiful practice will take you on and there are no better mentors I would of imagined to help mound, guide and help me through my time of self growth ??

Rishikesh Yog peeth - Abhayaranya is one of the original Yoga Schools in Rishikesh, I have done all My Yoga teachers training courses here 10 years ago, and have been coming back for refresher courses every year since, if you want to be trained by some of the best masters in yoga this is the place to come - The tranquility and spectacular Surroundings of the place and space gives the peace of mind to move forward in Your yogic journey - Recommend highly - Angalie Lindstrøm U.S.A ????

I did my 500h hours YTT at Rishikesh Yog Peeth, from 14th of may to 23rd of july 2018 and this was an amazing experience, and I sincerely recommand it. In brief I loved all the teachers and the staff, they were all very nice. The accommodation was perfect, and the food served was excellent (special thoughts for the fresh papaya at breakfast) ?? ! The location, Abhayaranya village, is a very unique place, with the most amazing view I have ever seen, I never got bored of admiring the sunrise over the mountains every morning. You are lost in nature, beautiful and abundant. It's perfect to disconnect and focus on yoga. To be pragmatic, just after the cursus I had the opportunity to teach yoga and, thanks to the quality of the teaching at Rishikesh Yog Peeth, I felt very comfortable to do so, and I received good and encouraging feedbacks. I know I still have sooo much to learn since yoga is a lifetime learning, but I now know I have very good foundation, thanks to you. THANK YOU MY DEAR AND BELOVED TEACHERS Deepa, Neha, Himanshu, Vijeth, Ankit, Roshan and Nitesh ! I will be forever very gratefull for all the teaching and the knowledge you have shared, and I hope I will honor the certificate I received. Since I have left, I think about all of you almost every day, and I wish I will come back as soon as possible. I pray for you, for your health and hapiness. Namaste ?????? ? ? ?

I've just completed my 200Hr TTC at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. It was an amazing experience. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and very helpful. All the staff at Yog Peeth was very helpful and made my stay very comfortable. The course is very well-structured, with a focus on personal-development. The asana lessons in the morning and evening were the high-point for me since I was able to further my yoga practice and grow in flexibility in just one month. This experience wouldn't have been the same had it not been for the amazing people I met here, friends from all around the world, teachers, mentors. If you are thinking of taking a yoga training certification, this is the best place to do so!

Highly recommend this 200hr YTT. Incredible fun teaching! A great mix of western and eastern, traditional and modern thinking yoga philosophy teaching. Well experienced yoga teachers of asana, meditation, pranayama and yoga philosophy. You will learn about yourself and your beliefs ?? A great life adventure. x

May the world know that yoga-meditation started from Nepal. Long later, Hindus of India learned the Vedic culture from THE ORIGINAL RISHIKESH, PALPA NEPAL. . They could not take the place but they keep the name Rishikesh for good reason. . .May you come and explore the facts from TUSHITA- NEPAL MEDITATION RETREATS . . .
